4:45pm - Back at the aiarbnb after a busy day with absolutely beautiful weather. Started the day by stopping at Satan’s Coffee Corner for some awewsome hipstesr coffee and then went to the incredible Boqueria market to look around and get some fruit. Then we went to La Pallaresa for equally aweseome churros and hot chocolate. Apparently that is chocolate street and there are more places to try.
Realized I forgot tickets for something we would need later and we went back to the airbnb but not after Matt was gouged for 28 euros on sunscreen! Then we wandered a bit more and found our free walking tour, which went all around the Gothic Quarter and provided history and context. The guide Fran had more energy than possibly anyone I have ever seen. After the tour, which ended arouond 1:30, we found a tapas place for lunch and set off to the Catalan music palace, which is a modernist masterpiece built in the early 1900s. Did their guided tour and checked out a little artesans’ market, though there was nothing really to buy.
Midnight - back at the airbnb after a great evening of awesome ice cream at rocamblosec, fun at the Magic fountains full of people watching and break dancers, and an awesome lit fountain show set to mucic. After the fountains, we walked to the Poble Sec area to Blai street, which is full of tapas bars. I had noted a few good places, which we either could not find or were too busy to bother with, but still had some drinks and cheap little tapas, before taking the metro back here. It is late, so pictures tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, let’s call it Gaudi Day, so get readaay for lots of modernist stuff! Sorry today’s entry was so short!
Oh and today's totals: 25973 steps and 10.33 miles!
